Thames Drone Filming in South Bank
Specialist over-water thames drone filming at South Bank for marine engineering, logistics, and creative media.
Recent Work
Selected work from across London and the Thames.
If your project sits in South Bank, we can plan and fly it with the river permissions already in place. We supply broadcast media, survey data and structural inspection imagery from the same operating base. We quote per project, because a river job depends far more on access and tide than on the service name.
We survey the South Bank bank and the water in advance to fix take-off, landing and contingency points. RTK platforms are available where the deliverable is a measurement rather than an image. We keep the ground and deck footprint small so the operation stays clear of working crews.
Notices to mariners are checked before any South Bank flight, and radio watch is kept during it. We carry £10M public liability insurance written to cover over-water operations. Anything we cannot legally do on the river, we say before you book rather than after.
Edited video, stills, orthomosaics and inspection reports follow the flight within 48 hours. Tell us what you need on the water and we will come back with options, tides and a price. The quickest route is a short email with the location, the subject and the deadline.

Frequently Asked Questions
What deliverables can you provide from South Bank?
Broadcast-ready video, high-resolution stills, georeferenced orthomosaics of the bank and foreshore, 3D models, or written inspection reports. Raw capture is handed over on the day and processed output follows within 24 to 48 hours.
Can you launch from the bank rather than a vessel in South Bank?
Often, yes, and it is usually cheaper. It depends on landowner permission, a clear take-off and landing area, and whether the subject stays within safe range from shore. We will tell you which approach the shot actually needs.
How does the tide affect a shoot in South Bank?
Tide decides what is visible, what is navigable and where we can launch and recover. We plan South Bank operations around the tide table first and build the shot list around the window that gives you the best water.
